Mount Olympus [3]

Jackie

He pulls me back in, on his lap this time, and I set a hand on my stomach.

I'm not feeling so good...

Nic

I practically growl at the fact she's on his lap, but don't let onto that.

I know. Just relax. I'll get you out of this as soon as I can.

Jackie

He wraps his arms around me, his hands still on the wheel, and I close my eyes for a second.

Nic...I feel like I'm gonna...

I set a hand over my mouth and swallow whatever came up, having a huge headache.

Nic

Throw up on the b*stard. I don't like the way he's holding you... You'll be fine, I promise. Just hang in there.

I try to think of a way out of this, but draw a blank.

Jackie

He pulls into his house and scoops me up, carrying me out, "Jacks. You'll be fine," He says, sighing.

Nic

I go silent after that, biting my tongue to prevent from asking her questions she won't answer yet, and keep my thoughts to myself, blocking her from reading them. I thought Jacks was just my nickname for you...

Jackie

Nic please get me out of this before--

He throws me on the bed in his room and I swallow, standing quick. He pins me down and stars kissing me, just like...

Nic, please, please, please stop this.

Nic

He did not just do that.

I bottle up all my emotion and send it shooting out of the two of us in the form of my light, knocking him off. I slip out of Jackie and lock the door, taking him by the collar and punching the crap out of his pretty little face. Just before he passes out, I cup his chin and make him look me in the eyes.

"Whatever you had, it's gone," I whisper, "And whatever you want, it's mine. Come near my wife again and I'll castrate you."

His eyes roll back in his head and I stand, walking to Jackie.

"You okay?" I ask, taking her face in my hands and wiping her lips off with the back of my palm.

Jackie

Frozen in place, I just nod, "Y-Yeah..." I stutter, crossing my arms over myself while shaking, "I'm scared as sh*t now."

Nic

I kiss her forehead and take her in my arms, "It's over now. Let's just get out of here, okay? We'll be fine."

Jackie

I nod, "Okay. Can you carry me? I don't think I can handle walking..."

Nic

I nod and scoop her up, "But we're not walking...far anyways."

We disintegrate and reappear before Alyx, who stands where I left him.

"Just relax," I tell Jackie, "We're going home."

Jackie

I nod, burying my face in his chest. I felt safe near him, like no one could get to me beside him.

Nic

Alyx opens the door for me and I take Jackie back upstairs, laying her down but staying close at her side, "Get some rest. I'll be right here."

Jackie

Still slightly shaken up I nod and close my eyes, taking a deep breath while cuddling with a pillow.
